Buy or sell with a team that knows the market
Expert consulting to help you buy, sell, or upgrade your aircraft with confidence — from a team that comes to you, wherever the aircraft is.
Your trusted partner throughout your aviation journey
Whether you’re buying your first aircraft, selling your current one, or acquiring a second aircraft, our team is committed to a seamless transaction built around expert advice and your specific needs. We work with buyers and sellers across the country, and because the same team also handles management and training, the relationship doesn’t end at closing.
- Aircraft Acquisition
We get to know your lifestyle and goals to source the new or pre-owned aircraft that fits — mission profile, budget, and timeline all factor in before we start looking.
- Aircraft Sales
Hands-on support and up-to-date market insight to maximize your aircraft’s value, from pricing strategy through closing paperwork.
- Taxes and Benefits
A network of seasoned professionals to navigate tax regulations and protect your investment, including depreciation and 1031-adjacent considerations specific to aircraft.
From first call to closing
- 1. Discovery of your mission
Where you fly, who you carry, and what the aircraft needs to do — before any tail numbers enter the conversation.
- 2. Sourcing & evaluation
We identify candidate aircraft on and off market and screen them against your mission and budget.
- 3. Pre-buy inspection
Independent inspection and logbook review so you know exactly what you’re buying.
- 4. Closing
Negotiation, escrow, and paperwork handled — we manage the details through delivery.
- 5. Optional management handoff
Roll straight into Elite’s management program and the same team keeps the aircraft flight-ready.
“I have complete confidence Elite will always do the right thing for me. Elite is one of those rare companies where I never have to second guess my decisions.”

Acquisition & sales questions
Late-model SR20 and SR22 aircraft are our specialty, but our acquisition and sales consulting isn’t limited to one manufacturer — we help clients evaluate the right aircraft for their mission, regardless of make.
It depends on aircraft availability and financing, but most transactions move from initial consultation to closing within a few weeks once a target aircraft is identified.
Yes — many acquisition clients transition directly into our aircraft management program, so the same team that helped you buy keeps the aircraft flight-ready.
